The Tech
Speaking of technology. The system is anchored by basketball-specific base layer options, including arm sleeves, padded compression gear and knee sleeves, which together wick sweat from the skin, providing a feeling of protection and compression, and keeping the players’ arms and legs warm off-court.
The shorts also introduce a FlyVent waistband that addresses the discomfort of traditional basketball waistbands by combining two types of knit mesh into one highly secure, breathable band. This is matched to a hybrid of knit mesh in the back and a hydrophobic four-way stretch woven fabric in the front. Additionally, the front of the shorts features a mobility vent. Placed specifically where basketball players need it most, based on their five key movements, it reveals a flash of tights as athletes move.
National Teams, including United States, Brasil, Spain and China, will be rocking this style of uni in the 2016 Olympic Games. Now let’s just hope it gets them to the medal podium!!!
